Pointing out that drought relief and development works are not being implemented at the expected level, Labour Minister and Dharwad district in-charge Santosh Lad has called upon the officials of various departments and gram panchayat members to work in coordination to ensure the effective implementation of relief measures.
Chairing a review meeting on the implementation of development works in the drought-hit areas of the district in Dharwad on Friday, Mr. Lad said that only with proper coordination that development and drought relief works can be implemented in a timely and effective manner.
He said that the gram panchayat members and panchayat development officials should be committed towards ensuring development of their respective villages and providing employment to job card holders. Blueprint for the overall development of the village should be chalked out by ensuring protection of natural resources, he said.
